As anyone who follows the band knows, we usually have a LOT of stuff going on. The tough part for us is finding a simpler way to keep you guys up-to-date. We’re trying out a new solution: the new Linkin Park App, for iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and Android.

The app is FREE. It has all the obvious stuff, like news and tour dates, but also plays all our LPTV episodes and videos, finds other LP fans in your area (if you want), and collects all Linkin Park online activity, all in one place. You can connect it to your Facebook and Twitter accounts, so you can respond to a blog post or video without opening and closing a bunch of windows. You can also shoot photos at the concert, and immediately upload them online using the app…and it ranks users based on activity, so if you’re active on our sites, you’ll get recognized.

thats great mike!
hey my friend shane was helping me promote for a thousand suns a couple weeks ago and he was saying things like “dont promote lp here cuz no one cares” and things like that. i tried to block it out but it still got to me and i still think about what he was saying. its true cloverdale isnt the best small town on the planet but i still think i need to promote for you guys and i still am. but i havnt talked to shane since that day and im not really sure how to handle it. any suggestions?
thanks,

Cool, great idea, I’ll never be frustrated by the lack of LP news on vacations again. Great to see you got it on Android. Is there any chance of seeing 8-bit Rebellion on Android as well?

ohhh finally i was kinda tired of checking out different sites to keep up to date with u guys!

I love it! I got it the day it came out. It’s pretty convenient. I always have like 8 tabs open in safari just to keep up with all the news! You can see everything on there! My 8-BR app is now next to my LP app(: !!

I’m rarely using that app, in fact I used it only once. I get the news and etc. always from the websites :D

I like that it is coming out for Android rather than just Apple products. Ya’ll tend to be a little bias toward Apple stuff, and fans like me, who either don’t use or thoroughly hate Apple stuff, tend to miss out (like on the 8 Bit Rebellion game, for example). It’s cool that it’s free too, that will definitely hold people’s interest.

Considering that it ranks people by activity, I expect Jade, Ana B. and Kathy to be the most popular fans on the LP app, lol XD

I already have it and it’s awesome!! 8-Bit Rebellion is still most awesome thing on my Iphone!!

i will like to see in this app that everytime linkin park/mike make an update or something we receive a notification from the app to our ipod,iphone etc.. but i love this app because keep me closer to linkin park.. i love this app. lp rocks

Sounds great, all I’m missing is an iPhone or Android. I’ll just recommend it to my friends that have one.
I can’t wait for “A Thousand Suns.”

It’s really cool.
It allows me talk with my mom or send SMS, the battery can last a week…
It has no camera, but it has an (annoying) speaker alarm!
And is grey.
(Of course I’m being sarcastic, for god’s sake! I wish I had an iPhone… :cry: I will recomend the application anyway xD)

This is really awesome!
Thank you guys for making this.
I only have a classic, but soon I will get an Ipod Touch.
Hope all is well, take care.

That is great an awesome way for you guys to keep your fans up to date. If I had the app, and an i-pod, i would definetly be an active fan. But i dont have the app or an i-pod :(

Can I hack it so that it works with my phone? Wait what is it?…psssh lol I gotta Crackberry, it just teleports me when I think about it. Have you ever read Hagakure? As unusual as this association is, I still consider you my friend. LOL …So your getting book recommendations dammit.

Hey MIKE outside of the US i.e (SOUTH AFRICA, EUROPE, AUSTRALIA etc.) We mailnly use Nokia’s so we run Symbian, Symbian OS is also found on Sony Ericson etc. How about catering to us folk as well when you guys develop apps. THanX!

THANKSSSSSSSSS MİKE for Turkish option :)….I Will make my dad buy an İphone :)…It has been necessary :D

Yes! It’s actually the ultimate widget for the LP fans. I loved it the second I got it…now my iPhone has a folder named “Linkin Park <3" and it's my fave one :D
And I liked seeing you post in there. Hopefully the other guys will do too. You what? It'd be super cool if you could add a chat page if you update it. :D

AMAZING!!! :D Thank you very much

Julian on August 12, 2010 at 9:56 am

This is pure awesome! Too bad I don’t have an i-whatever, will recommend it to my non-LP-fan friends though =]
